I had the chance to join Gigi Rüf and the Slash guys in Arlberg, exploring new areas that had yet to be ridden. After a long build, I wandered up higher and I knew it was not the best place to be, so close to some falling rocks that at one point I could even hear the breath of an ibex a few meters above me. Getting some good photos at the end was maybe not worth it for the risk we sometimes take out there. Next time, maybe I'll need to find a better way. -- Carlos Blanchard

This shot was taken on a six-hour ski tour in the Sunnmøre Alps on the Norwegian western coast. We had been up in the alpine and were on route down when Chris Rubens found this perfect wind drift. He hit it naturally once and did a 360, but popped out bigger than he expected. He went back up and stepped it out and did a 7 -- all of this with low-tech ski touring bindings. Impressive. -- Mattias Fredriksson

This shot is from the last session of the event, "The Jambo" in Bologna, Italy. From left: Josh Sheenan in 360; Andrè Villa in Tzunami flip; Clinton Moore in 360; and Matt Buyten in cordova flip. -- Ricky Monti

East meets West: Chris Doyle traded in the trees and dirt for cactus and sand on a West Coast trails trip to Heath Pinter's backyard paradise. And what Doyle session would be complete without a horrifying downside whip on the last hip? -- Justin Kosman

Tim was on fire, jumping off everything in sight on this four-week long trip to Stuben, Austria, with the TGR crew. When the filmers were getting into position, Tim and I shot this while he was on his way to a different jump. -- Adam Clark

If you drive around with Sean Burns looking to shoot a photo, you will end up with a crick in your neck, because what he defines as a sick 'street spot' these days is on another level. -- Sandy Carson
